I like Dano's idea. A good realistic hack'n'slash with no magic, dragons, or anything you wouldn't find in, say, Earth's medieval history. Bring on the swords, axes, longbows, polearms, whatever you like, but keep it real. And if you want to play a one armed thief with a wooden leg, so be it!

Mount & Blade is badass! I bought it several years ago when it was in Beta stage and followed through all the changes. Gets a little redundant over time, but the concept is sweet. That's what I play when I travel (which is weekly) and don't take my xBox.

I highly recommend!

I like Red Dead Redemption too...

Kinda pissed that I have to start from "scratch" on my number of posts...I had a bunch on there too. Just sayin'

GTA3: Play it or die.GTA San Andreas: May or may not be for you, but GTA4: Definitely worth a try, but not the best of the series IMO. It just doesn't feel right. Map mods tend to make it a lot more fun, as well as Battlefield 2: Excellently balanced, though its mods are what make it great.Rigs of Rods: Vehicle physics sandbox of excellent quality...when you're not splattering your car across the map by dropping it from a plane. Get it here.Ace of Spades: Go get it!Minecraft: Duh. Made better with mods.VegaStrike: You start with a ship from the player character's best friend from the military (recently deceased) and do whatever. Have fun.Fallout New Vegas: Fun, for all its glitches and weirdnesses.GeneRally: Spelled exactly the same as the word generally, but a fun, free, easy-to-mod 3D racing sim thingy anyway. Plays from an unusual isometric-ish perspective. www.gene-rally.com
